Suns 109, Magic 93

Gerald Green added 14 points off the bench for the Suns, who remained 1 1/2 games behind the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Markieff Morris and Channing Frye added 12 points apiece in the victory.

Tobias Harris led all scorers with 23 points for the Magic, who fell to 4-32 away from Orlando. Arron Afflalo contributed 20 points while Victor Oladipo had 14 points and nine assists.

The Suns used a quick 7-0 run at the start of the third quarter to create some breathing room, and Green and Marcus Morris combined to drill three 3-pointers later in the frame to turn a one-point deficit into an 82-76 advantage going into the fourth. Green stretched the lead to 12 with back-to-back 3-pointers, he knocked down another long-range shot with 8:25 remaining to fuel the surge and Ish Smith added a pair of baskets to make it a 21-point advantage with 6:28 left.

The Magic fared well in the opening half despite losing starting center Nikola Vucevic, who was hit with a pair of technical fouls and subsequently ejected after tossing the ball at Frye while arguing with the officials. The teams played to a 25-all tie through one quarter, and Afflalo knocked down three 3-pointers in the second as the Magic enjoyed a brief lead before Phoenix staged a late rally to go into the break tied at 52.
